Tips for an Affordable Coastal Holiday

Finding a SUPER cheap holiday requires a bit of extra planning and forward thinking. Not only do you need to find cheap flights and a cheap room, you also need to think about what you will do once you are there. 💰Is it an expensive country you are visiting? Because if so, the total cost will quickly spiral out of control. 🏖 Is there a lot to do there? Especially within walking distance. A beautiful coastal walk, lovely beaches and a quaint picturesque town will give you lots to do for free. If all of the activities available cost a lot and require expensive taxis to get to - again, the total price will escalate quickly. 🍔 Is there a supermarket near by? Does your room have a kitchen? Self catering will mean you need a lot less spending money compared to if you eat out. During our current trip we have eaten two meals at “home” and one meal out per day. Meaning we have spent very little on food. 🚍 Are you staying close to a public transport route? Buses are a super cheap way to get around. For a couple of euros you can explore further than your feet can take you. Getting a bus to the next town or beach makes for a very cheap day out. We have made the most of the bus routes in Gran Canaria and seen a lot more than we could have on foot. #grancanaria #grancanarias #canaryislands #wintersun #familyholiday #familyholidays #thetravelmum #thetravelmumuk #toddlertravel #cheaptravel #babytravel #travelwithbaby #familytravel #travelfamily #travelblogger #puertodemogan #puertodemogán #mogán
